Where the Cigar Got Its Name.

The origin Of the word cigar is Of some
interest and is not to lie found in the
ordinary dictionaries. The word, Of
course. is Spanish. and Littre in his
French dictionary says that il is derived
from cigarra, the Spanish name for grass
hopper. When the Spaniards first intro
ducerl tobacco into Spain from the island
of Cuba, in the Sixteenth century, they
cultivated the plant in their gardens,
which in Spanish are called cigarrales.
Each grew his tobacco in his cigarral and
rolled it up for smoking. as he had learned
from the Indians in the West Indies.
When one offered a smoke to a friend he
could say: '.Es de mi cigarral' it is
from my garden. Soon the expression
came to he: Este cigarro IS de mi cigar
ral'-this cigar is from my garden. And
from this the word spread over the world.
The name cigarral for garden comes from
cigarra, a %grasshOpper, that insect being
very common in Spain, and cigarral mean
ing the place where the cigarra sings. In
this way the word cigar zones from
cigarra, the name Of the insect, not be-
cause it resembles the body Of the grass
hopper, but because it was grown in the
place il frequents Chicago Tribune.

Healthfulness of Omen Fires.

The reason why the heat Of the open
fire is more healthful than that of stoves
o furnaces is that it nearly resem-
bles the sun by radiation. Our bodies
are hotter than the air because they, like
other bodies. absorb the heat and leave
the air cooler for breathing. Ii is sus-
pected 10y scientists that the ozonic con-
dition Of the air is changed by passing
over hot iron. This does not occur when
rooms are heated by open fires. with
which il is almost impossible Ia have
stagnant air.-Mrs. E. q. Cook, VI. D.,

While discussing what it was best to do.
the officers were joined by another
policeman. and Padgett, who had been

was agreed th3t two of the officers should
notify Blouse of the intended robbery,
while Arnold and Padgett should come
from the direction opposite Blouse's sa-
loon and thus the four should interceDt
the burglars. In following out this plan
Arnold and Padgett discovered two men

They called To the suspected burglars
to surrender and rushed forward to cap
ture them. AS they did so the two men
drew revolvers, and one of them shot

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ON LAND.
Archbishop CorriGan on Georgism The
Pope's Rights.

NEW YORK. Nav 6.-Archbishop
Corrigan made his canonical visitation
TO the Church Of the Sacred Heart this
morning. Low Mass was celebrated. at
the conclusion of which the Archbishop
spoke on the popular errors which he
said We're widely prevalent at the pres
ent time The first of these was the idea
that private ownership of land was un-
Just This idea the Archbishop charac-
terized as a fallacy against both philos-
ophy and common sense and as against
teachings of the Catholic Church. Those
the who claimed that land. like sunshine
and air. was the free gift of God and
equally the property of all, overlooked
the great difference that sun and air cam
not become private property. as
can land. He declared that every
man had right 10 acquire by honest
means as much property as he could and
cited the Indians as an example of the
disastrous results of free land policy.
He also said that the idea was in direct
opposition to the decree of the Pope, and
that those who favored it knew that they
were infringing on the ordinances of
God.
The second error which the Archbishop
wished To combat was that the Pope had
a right to command and to be obeyed in
matters of faith and morals and when
speaking as infallibIe. This idea had
been decreed false by the Va n COun-
ell who had ordered that ..Tf any one
should say that the Pope had a right to
in matters of faith and morals

four night for debate on the Coercion
bill before adjournment as all the other
sittings will be occupied with estimates.
Ii is doubtful whether the first clause of
the Coercion bill can be passed before the
adjournment.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt pro-
poses an important amendment to the
bill exempting from secret inquiry all
proceedings relating To public meetings
or agrarian movements including COM
binations to obtain a reduction of rent
The Gladstonians will make this a test
amendment. If the Government ac-
cepts it the bill will be permitted to pro-
gress; but if the Government refuses,
every possible device will be used To oh
struct measure.
The Government will modify the Irish
land bill in the House of Lords. The
original clauses enabled solvent tenants
to apply for reduction of rent under an
appeal in bankruptcy. 1t is now pro-
posed, ar a substitute, that a joint appli-
cation be made for bankruptcy order
by both landlord and tenant, and further
that the court be empowered to stay an
eviction without declaring bankruptcy
by granting an extension of time for
payment.
